PUBLIC OPINION.

After all there's no uncle like good old
Uncle Sam.-PhIladelphia Times.
II is difficult TO paint the town red where
blue laws prevail-Ou City Blizzard.
The Grand Army as a whole, while not
responsible for the performances of all its
members. or even or its several posts, is
certainly discredited bv the fuss which
has been made over the Presidents in
tended visit to St. Louis.-Spring6eld Re-
publican.
The course which the President has
taken in Withdrawing his acceptance OF
the invitation should recall the Grand
Army officials, of whose wanton attacks
he complains with such good reason, to
sense of their duty in the matter. They
cannotafford to remain in the position in
which bis letter leaves them: for an Insult
to the President is an afro Mt to the ma
tion.-Boston Herald.
Mr.. S. s. Cox's speech, in which b e com
pares Foraker and Fairchild to uutunefGl
animals of the island of Prinkipos, is so
brilliantly funny that it will receive wide
readipg. The comparison is, however, not
especially felicitous, except in so far as II
describes discordant note. The jackass
is a stupid animal. The fault with these
politicians is not so much their stu oidity
as it is their excessive smartness. The one
is almost as dangerous as the other, and it
is fault less easily forgiven by the Amer
lean people.-Boston Herald.

THE POLITICAL CLIP,

The Omaha Bee considers it to Senator
Allison's advantage that he has not yet
had any boom.
Maryland has a surplus of candidates in
the field and considerable confusion is ex
pected in the campaign preliminaries.
State Senator Fletcher, of Minneapolis,
says the Western Republicans generally
want Blaine and the politicians want
Sherman.
The Troy Press declares that McGlynn is
not another Luther, for the reason that
Luther would not have fooled long with
a shallow politician like George"
1t is reported that a successor to Postmas-
ter Frank Conger, of Washington, d. c., is
soon TO be appointed. Conger is q son of
Senator Conger, and is just a. the end of a
four years term.
Concerning the statement of General
Brsgg, of Wisconsin, that he knows of no
man who can carry the country against
Blaine in 1888, the Boston Herald says
General Holdfast is a betrer man to bank
on
Gen. Corse has been postmaster OF Bos-
ton seven months, and has only changed
nineteen out of 756 employees. Because he
contemplates some more changes the Mug
wumps are pitching into him and quoting
the civil service laws.
ut is Just as certain as anything in the
future can be-" says the Republican
Philadelphia Telegraph, that if the pres
emit frantic rawlings of a few newspapers
and few politicians whose fortunes are
on the wane continue much longer, there
will be popular revulsion in the Presi-
dents favor, and that so far from losing
by the flag incident, he will make dis
tinct gain through the malignant folly of
his active opponents.
A new party under the name of the
American party has been born in Cali
forHia. The main points of its platform is
demaBd that all naturalization laws of the
nation berepealed and that immigration be
restricted. Delegates to the convention
predicted that the organization would be-
come Dational. Is the old Know.nothing
farce to be played over again? 1t may be
attempted. but burnt powder never ex-
plodes.-Kansas City Star.
According to the Providence Telegram
the first year of prohibition in Rhode
Island has been barren of good RESULTS. It
says: Is there any less intoxicating stuff
sold? Very little, IL any. Have any
drunkards been reclaimed? Let those who
know of any instances Of that kind pro-
claim them. Has any money been
diverted from beer to bread? Here again,
we require further information. Are there
any fewer drunken women2 Are there
any fewer drunken minors7 Sellers appear
to be about as conscienceless in selling to
these two classes as they we're under
license. They broke the law then, aud
they do so now, and people let them break
il now as then.

TaImage on sharp.

SHARP" said the Rev. Mr.. Talmage,
after be had been listening to the evidence
In the Sharp trial one day, lis different
from other railroad men only in that h
was found out. Bribery is the national
curse OF this country. 1t is perpetual not
only in the Legislature Of New York State
bat in the legislative bodies of other states.
Long rows of palaces have been reared by
bribery, either in money or political prefer
ment.
There have been bigger cases than
Sharp's," said the preacher, "but bribery
has continued just the same. 1t is a sad
spectacle to contemplate the ruin OF
mans character. To me q trial of that
kind is more solemn than funeral, a con-
viction more awful than life dashed out
In q railroad accident. When / read of the
meeting with bis wife and daughter 1 felt
for the misguided old man, but the trial
was manifestly fair and impartial"

Zach TAYLOR as a Kisser.

The kissing OF Georgia college girls by
Governor Gordon brings back memory of
the long ago. On bis return from the
Mexican war General Taylor was invited
everywhere, honized by everybody and
kissed by long professions of ladies on each
occasion. Once when q swarm of charm
ing bellies was filing by with the &C
customed lip service the adjutant
stopped him: General, ii is usual with q
commanding officer to have duties dis
charged by subalterns. and am willing to
relieve you of this work" THAT will do,
said General Taylor, when he wants the
business done, but when he wants the bust
ness done well be should attend TO it him
SELF" whereupon he straightway handed
his mouth to the next lady and went on
with the exercises.

WASHIEGTON, JulV ll.-lne H0Slm dSG6r-
General has written the following letter to
a clerk in the sixth division, who inquired
if a convention OF the postal clerks in that
division would meet the approval of the
department:
PosT OFFICE DEPARTMENT, !
OFFICE PosTMAsTER-GENERAL, :
WAsEIEGToN, d. c., July 9, 1878.
8 DEAR SIR Il am in receipt of your letter
desiring to know whether the department
would look Epon a convention of the rail-
way postal clerks of the Sixth Division
with favor, it being stated that the objects
are to cultivate fraternity, afford the chief
an opportunity of meeting and hearing from
the working force, and clerks an opportuu-
ity of making known to the departm ent
their needs and securing the considera ton
of a more equitable grading OF railway
postal liaes. In response, l feel bound to
state that such q convention in my Judge
ment, is worse that valueless and unnec-
essary. The fraternity which will advance
the usefulness of postal clerks, is the com
mon devotion to duty and the common
patriotic pride which animate every good
citizen to strive to honor the country
whichIintrusts its business to his hands,
by a just subordiDation to its discI
pine and laws and faithful
performance OF his duties. i am well sat
isfied that this spirit now pervades the
railway mail service. Meetings of the
chiefs of the service with clerks on the
road is sufficiently provided for by regula.
tions ard usage. The needs OF postal
clerks and their equitable grading
are the constant care of the de.
partmeDt and its officers to whom
they belong. The opportunity for
a general survey affords them much better
means of forming judgment than the law
may be deemed to be right in assuming that
the subject may be more safely intrusted
there than to the inspiration of genius
limited within a narrow compass.
There is not only no occasion for any
such convention, but it is forbidden by
sound principles. The people leglslate
through their constitutional representa-
tives, and neither require, nor will be
likely long to tolerate associations of their
servants designed to advance their own in
terests. Postal clerks will be better Of
fcers, more useful in their generation and
receive greater favor from the public
whom they serve, and by whom they are
employed and paid, if every man
shall faithfully and thoroughly discharge
his appointed duty in obedience to the Of
feers and regulations. rejoicing with q
lust pride in the complishments of q
service of which he is q worthy part. He
may make to his superior such reports and
suggestions for improvement as he shall
thoughtfully evolve from his observations
and experience, according to due usage
without any convention, attendance or
which will only interrupt his duties.
Yours truly,
WIN. F. VILLAS,
Postmaster General"
